Do you collect Sculptures?

[snelj8]

This may not be in topic with gallery news, but does anyone collect sculpture art in addition to canvases and prints? Would love to see some pics and know the "who's who" on this and whether there are any artists that cater to this scene.

Btw, I lost the name - but there is one artist who creates pieces from scrap metals and scrap parts and caught the attention of I think either Hirst or Saatchi. Does anyone know who this may be?

Thanks!

If its the geezer who uses odd assortments of fragmented waste products that have been discarded, generally made of modern day plastics. Each piece being of the same colour but having different tonal values, its probably TONY CRAGG

I havent collected any, but more due to nothing having caught my eye at the moment.
Some of my fav 'Sculpture art' is similar in taste to my street art taste.
for example Ronzo's Ed Van tag make sme smile


I like things that have been left with no explination or reason other than for effect. Whether the effect is to make you laugh or hurle chunks. Guess thats why I like Banksys stuff. Isnt necessarily the art that does it for me, but collecting something that made me smile on a certain day and being reminded of that feeling when i see it on my wall.

There are some great examples from people putting up false plaques on bridges remembering occasions that never happened to peopel replacing traffic light walkers with dancers and animals.
Silly stuff really.
But all that said im also a keen admirer of Bronzes (not animals) they do it for me...is that sad..?

I have a couple of sculptures that I am particularly fond of:

There's a local artist to me called Ptolemy Elrington who makes sculptures of creatures, mainly fish, from old hubcaps:-

Check out his commissions - some pretty amazing stuff there.

[Damien]

[Coach]

Mark Jenkins is one name to remember! and Invader is another one!

Jenkins pieces are amazing in the streets, but their brutal (in the positive and negative) impact to the people slows down when you put the piece inside home... The same with invader. (the same with almost everyone we love?)

Laz has pieces from both




You can buy Jenkins in Carmichael too


but If you like Jenkins, you've got to have a big home or no furniture.

Not necessarily,

My very own Jenkins sculpture i picked up from his last show. Will have a life-size sculpture soon.

I like his works, wouldnt bother me having a life size work at home at all.

We think Ptolemy's work is stunning. It is all made out of hubcaps he has found by the roadside. We showed some of his creatures at The Babylon Academy at Piccadilly Circus in December:

I like the 'Bad Babysitter' by Mikael Alacouque. He has some great work up at the Village Underground at the moment.

[Dellboyy]

The 'Sloaneviperfish' is 133 cm long and 100 com at its highest point. The 'Spinershark' sculptures are about 80 cm long.

Thought it would be nice to start a thread whereby members could show their latest art sculptures ceramic art or ornaments. To start the ball rolling here is mine one of marc jenkins flower signs. Will add more if there is interest.Oh by the way if a thread like this already exists I will delete and Mr. Silky can redirect.

[Natas]

Good idea, looking forward to all the posts!
